I’m going to share one of my easiest DIY projects so far on this blog…and, even better, it’s super cute and versatile! This easy DIY garland uses dot stickers and twine, and is perfect for wall art, a cake bunting or even an adorable plant adornment!

Here’s what you need….

Oh, and paper straws or skewers if you plan on sticking it into a cake or plant:)

Just take your sticker, lay it on your twine, and fold in half.

I experimented with placing the dots close together, and also spacing them out a bit. I think the former is great for plant and cake decor, and the latter is perfect for making longer wall garlands.

Happy Monday, all! With Easter and Mother’s Day approaching, I wanted to share a simple and meaningful gift idea you can easily make for your loved ones. This DIY cube photo holder is the perfect gift, and you probably have most of the supplies on hand already!

Step 1: Sand your block, if needed. My blog is 1.5″ cube, but any size will do. Decide if you want to decorate the sides with pictures, scrapbook paper, or even just paint. I used Photoshop Elements to reduce pictures to 1.5″ square to use for my blocks, and you can use any photo editor to do this. If you’d rather not use photos, I think colorful scrapbook paper would be adorable, too. Mod podge your photos/paper to the sides of your block and let dry.

Step 2: Once dry, layer with two additional coats of Mod Podge Gloss, letting it dry fully between coats.

Step 3: Cut your dowel to the desired length (I cut mine in half), and drill a hole, the size of the dowel, into your block.

Step 4: For added color and pattern, use a length of washi tape to wrap around your dowel. Hot glue your clothespin to your dowel, and insert a drop of glue into the drilled hole in your cube and insert your dowel.

And that’s it! So simple and cute, yet meaningful. Include a couple of photos to make the gift extra special.
